OpScan 6 Scanner Data collection tools to meet your evolving needs The OpScan® 6 optical mark recognition (OMR) scanner offers fast throughput and data transfer in a durable desktop model. It’s flexible design allows for distributed or centralized processing. The OpScan 6 scanner enhances productivity by collecting and transforming data into useable information quickly and efficiently. A full spectrum of organizations choose the OpScan 6 scanner for applications.
Scanner Applications Education • Testing and assessment scoring • Course scheduling scheduling • Grade reporting reporting • Student, faculty & alumni surveys surveys • Admissions & enrollments enrollments • Course/instructo Course/instructorr evaluations
Business, Healthcare & Government • Job applications & member enrollments enrollments • Time & attendance and payroll payroll deductions • Training and course evaluations • Customer, employee, and patient surveys • Vehicle registration & incident reporting • Patient encounter encounter & health risk appraisals
OpScan 6 Scanner Features The OpScan 6 scanner offers features to help ensure accuracy, speed, and ease of use.
Accuracy Accur acy • Digital read head technology helps prevent undetected degradation of read head accuracy. The OpScan 6 scanner alerts you when paper dust, eraser bits, etc. begin to build up and block read cells, or when a read cell degrades or fails.
• Sixteen level mark discrimination differentiates erasures and smudges from valid marks. • Sheet thickness detector detector helps ensure that one sheet at a time is read. • Sheet skew detection helps ensure proper registration while reading.
Speed • A form throughput rate of up to 5,000 sheets per hour maximizes efficiency.
• Two light sources for each read cell minimize the effect of folds and wrinkles in forms.
• A fixed, automatic feed hopper for 300 sheets eliminates continual reloading.
• Precisely positioned read head wiping surfaces flatten wrinkled and folded forms and automatically clean the read head.
• Data transmission occurs occurs as each row is scanned. This, coupled with Scantrons’ proprietary data compression, results in higher actual scanner throughput.
Ease of Use • Forty character, alphanumeric operator messages simplify operation. • An open feed path provides sheet visibility at all times as well as easy access for sheet removal and transport cleaning. • The OpScan 6 scanner accommodates both Mark Reflex® and Trans-Optic® forms ranging in size from 2.5” x 5” to 9” x 14” (64 x 127 mm to 229 x 356 mm); 60-100 lb. (90-148 g/m2) offset.

Host Port: Local or remote connection; cable at no charge when specified by the customer at time of scanner order. • Auxiliary Port: Allows connection of a terminal printer or video display in series with the scanner; cable may be purchased from Scantron • Compatibility: Sentry 3000® scanner emulation mode. USB 2.0 with optional adaptor
• Scanner self diagnostics quickly pinpoint any problem.
Options The OpScan 6 scanner is available with optional features:
• Dual-side reflective read head for faster two sided form scanning. • Ink read heads to scan both pen and pencil. • A programmable, interactive printer that prints information based on scanned data—such as error codes, alphanumeric messages, serial numbers, validation flags, and test scores—with no effect on the throughput rate.
Operation
• Read Head: 16 level mark discrimi nation; one or two sided reflective read; Scantron .166” format • Form Transport: Automatic feed; open design
Software Interfaces
• The OpScan 6 scanner, is compatible with ScanTools® Plus. This software allows you to maintain files and define scannable forms—plus scan, edit, validate and display data. Interfacing with an OpScan scanner into your own custom software solution is done using the ScanTools Plus Link SDK and ScanTools Plus software. These tools are used by software programmers to implement scanning within their own software programs. For added value, the software converts files of scanned data into formats compatible with other commonly used packages, such as Microsoft® Access, Excel, Lotus® and SPSS® software.
• USB 2.0 with optional adaptor.
